Douala, 06 September, 2023 / 4:33 pm (ACI Africa).
Archbishop Samuel Kleda of Cameroon’s Douala Archdiocese has called for the creation of youth centers in Parishes of his Metropolitan See to foster prayer and dialogue.
Addressing the people of God under his pastoral care during Holy Mass to officially launch the new pastoral year of Douala Archdiocese, Archbishop Kleda said, “Young people in general are searching and they need a place to encounter Christ.”
“For this reason, I call on all parishes in our Archdiocese to construct youth centers for the gathering of young people,” the Cameroonian Archbishop said during the on September 2 event that was held at Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral of Douala Archdiocese.
He added, “Let these centers to be constructed be places of meeting, prayer and dialogue.”
“If it is not possible for a parish to construct a center for young people, two parishes in the same pastoral zone can team up to realize this project,” Archbishop Kleda said.
